Subject: silently ignore ownership changes unless unix extensions are enabled or we're faking... 
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.26-rc6~12^2~5
X-Git-Url: https://openfabrics.org/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4ca691a892e8ab4f79583de1394f17a7dcfa2b57;p=~emulex%2Finfiniband.git

silently ignore ownership changes unless unix extensions are enabled or we're faking uid changes

CIFS currently allows you to change the ownership of a file, but unless
unix extensions are enabled this change is not passed off to the server.

Have CIFS silently ignore ownership changes that can't be persistently
stored on the server unless the "setuids" option is explicitly
specified.

We could return an error here (-EOPNOTSUPP or something), but this is
how most disk-based windows filesystems on behave on Linux (e.g.  VFAT,
NTFS, etc). With cifsacl support and proper Windows to Unix idmapping
support, we may be able to do this more properly in the future.
